March 19, 1810, the Gettysburg Academy was established; $2,000 was ap- propriated to it; one-half of this sum to purchase a library, and the other half invested in productive property to help pay the teachers.

(In September, 1811, was the first elephant circus ever on exhibition in Get- tysburg. The entire show consisted of the elephant. The advertisement says: "The elephant is not only the largest and most sagacious animal in the world, but from the peculiar manner in which it takes its food and drink of every kind with its trunk, it is acknowledged to be the greatest natural curiosity ever offered to the public. She will lay [sic] down and get up at command. She will draw the cork from a bottle" [In these days any of our dudes can do this. ] "and with her trunk will manage it in such a way as to drink its contents. She is eleven years old, and measures upward of fifteen feet from the end of her trunk to that of her tail, ten feet around the body, and upward of eight feet high. Perhaps," the advertisement continues, "the present generation may never have an opportunity of seeing an elephant again, as this is the only one in America, and this perhaps its last visit to these parts." Imagine, reader, you could have seen Jumbo smile as Barnum reads this show bill to him.)

1812-George Kerr, burgess; council-Walter Smith, Michael Newman, Fred Rupley, William Maxwell, Mathew Longwell; Robert Hayes and John Troxell, Jr., street commissioners. Hayes refused to accept the office and John Ashbaugh was appointed. Samuel Pauley was high constable, Samuel Hutchinson, clerk.

WATER COMPANIES.

In August, 1822, Thaddeus Stevens, a councilman, offered a resolution to contract for water supply for the town, to be furnished in hydrants, for the sum

195

BOROUGH OF GETTYSBURG.

of $200. This year, November, the council elected George Smyser to fill the unexpired term of Alexander Dobbin, deceased.

Thaddeus Stevens continued to press the subject of water-works, on the at- tention of his fellow councilmen. It was greatly through his efforts that the old water- works and reservoir were constructed, and pipes laid from the spring on the side of Baltimore Street. For many years these answered all purposes, but in the course of time the wants and growth of the town caused the present wa- ter-works to be put up by a private company, and now Gettysburg is supplied with a great abundance of the purest and best of water. The stranger who visits the place, tastes its water, visits the water-works and sees the pure crystal fountain in the reservoir that is pumped from an inexhaustible lake that is covered by seventy feet of granite roofing, to him this is one of the attractive features of the place. Certainly no place in the world is more favored in this respect than Gettysburg.

The new water-works were put up and completed in the summer of 1883; the work commenced in the fall of 1SS2.

FIRE COMPANIES.

The council ordered fire companies to form as early as 1808. An engine was provided and an ax, bucket and hook and ladder companies were pro- vided for. The people of the place were naturally fire fighters. The original companies had but poor means or implements to fight fires successfully, but the people would rally upon the first alarm and with buckets conquer every fire nearly, and at least in every case save the adjoining property. No residence was burned down for over eighty years after the founding of the town. An inviting fact for fire insurance companies. In January of the present year (1886) an elegant fire engine was purchased, and under Capt. Calvin Gilbert an effective company is now organized.

The first engine house was built in 1809. It was sold in 1830 for $12, and in 1822 the council ordered the building of a new one, "to be 28 feet long, 8 feet wide, 12 feet high in front and S feet in the rear, to be weatherboarded, the boards to be planed and painted white, and the front lettered 'Engine House.""' It was on the lot between Evan's store and Widow Chamberlain's lot. The engine called "Guard" was purchased July, 1830.

BANKS.

The first movement toward establishing a bank in this place was taken by Alexander Cobean in 1813. He became the president, and opened books for stock subscriptions in Gettysburg, Millerstown, Littlestown, Oxford, Abbotts- town, Berlin, Petersburg, Hunterstown, New Chester, Taneytown, and at Arendt's, Hapke's, Black's and Hanover. The original commissioners ap- pointed to organize the bank were Alexander Cobean. James Gettys, Ralph Lashells, Jacob Eyster, Bernhart Gilbert, William Maxwell, Michael Newman, Robert Hayes, M. Miller, George Smyser. This was the first application to start a bank under the law just passed authorizing banks. At the first election of directors of the bank were chosen A. Cobean, James Gettys, Walter Smith, Robert Hayes, Ralph Lashells, Jacob Eyster, Bernhart Gilbert, of Gettysburg; and Andrew Will, Littlestown, Amos Maginly, Miderstown; Michael Slagle. Conowago; John Dickson, Straban; William Wierman, Latimore; Patrick Reid, Emmittsburg. President, Alexander Cobean; cashier, John B. Mc- Pherson. Bank regularly opened for business May 31, 1841; bours from 10 A. M. to 1 P. M. This institution has successfully weathered the financial storm for the past three-quarters of a century. Its present officers are Dr. John A.

CHURCHES.

Presbyterian Church (Rev. J. K. Demarest, pastor), of Gettysburg, is closely identified with the history of the people of this county from its earli- est settlement. The first building was erected in the vicinity of Black's grave-yard where there was a settlement of the Dutch Reformed people in 1738. The church was probably organized in 1740; the "meeting-house " was built about 1747. It was known as the Great Conowago and Marsh Creek Church. Rev. Caven was "stated supply " in 1740. In 1741 the congregation petitioned to be rid of their preacher, because "when Mr. Caven is abroad a bad story invariably comes back after him." For some years this people worshiped in private houses or under "God's first temples." Andrew Bay was long supposed to have been the first resident pastor, but this was an error, probably from the split in the church of the "Old Side" and "New Side." Rev. Joseph Tate was the first ministerial call to Great Conowago, in 1748, then Robert McMor- die; in 1767 Rev. James Long, then Joseph Rhea, Samuel Kennedy. The latter was doubted by the authorities as to his opinions, and he was refused to the church. The Presbytery said he was "tinctured with New Light senti- ments." Poor Kennedy was tried for being an Irishman, in reality, but they called it "laying too much stress on external and internal holiness." The ghostly trial was had. The most wonderful thing about it now is the synopsis of the testimony as it is furnished by the records, of the persons who had heard him preach, and would, under oath, give the substance of his remarks and arguments, on the most wonderful and dryest dogmas months after they had sat in the cheerless church and heard them. They could repeat the text and give a synopsis of his so-called arguments under each of the many headings. This trial and testimony is a flood of light upon the religious ideas, subjects and manners of the times. Among the witnesses called were Capt. McPherson, Samuel McConaughy, Quintin Armstrong.

In 1772 Rev. Robert Huey was asked for by the congregation. The Pres- bytery, because he was an Irishman, subjected him to the most rigid examina- tion on "the more important articles of the Christian religion, wherein the Calvinists and Armenians differ;" and he did not pass the ordeal. Rev. John Black was in charge in 1775. He was the ablest man probably in charge of this church; continued many years, and was greatly respected. He replaced the old log church with the large stone one in 1780. In 1781 the Presbytery met in this then magnificent building. A great incident came before this body. Two young ladies of the congregation were at outs. The great diffi- culty in the case was they were both "most highly connected," each claiming kinship with either preacher or elder. In fact they were so high in their fam- ily connection and influence that the session had no jurisdiction, and there- fore it came directly to the Presbytery. It was in the end the common female

197

trouble of tea tattling. The young lady was found guilty of an unruly tongue and was ordered up to receive a public reprimand. In 1741 a minister was tried by the Presbytery for drunkenness. He was acquitted, and the record says: "We cannot find eause to judge Mr. Lyon guilty of anything like excess in drinking. * But inasmuch as his behavior had so many circum- stances and symptoms of drunkenness, and inasmuch as he did not make any apology or allego it proceeded from sickness, we judge that he is censurable, and yet, as we apprehend that the small quantity of liquor which Mr. Lyon might have drank might produce the above effect after his coming in out of the ex- treme cold into a warm house near the fire, wo do not find sufficient cause to condemn him for drunkenness." At the next meeting of the Presbytery this same Rev. Lyon was tried, condemned and convicted "for whistling on the Sabbath, conduct indicating vaenity of thought and a disposition at variance with the proper spirit of the Lord's day."

The good and reverend Black introduced the first temperance society in this part of the world. It was very mild, not prohibiting the use of liquor, but simply to stop excessive drunkenness. He only could induce three of his congregation to sign, and the end soon came in, Mr. Black being deposed from his church for his pains.

In IS13 it was determined so sell the church and remove to Gettysburg. Dr. MeCanaughy, long in charge of the church, an eminent divine and edu- cator, resigned in 1832 to take the presidency of Washington College, which place he ably filled until October. 1849. He died January 29, 1852. A church was built in Gettysburg, and here the congregation has worshiped since. In 1840 the new and present church was completed.
